Apple Crumble Dessert Recipe

This is one of the many desserts I experimented with, as seen in my last blog. I thought it was simple enough for anyone to make and a nice way to serve a traditional dessert in its cold form. It can of course, be adapted to become really something special, or stick to the main ingredients for a super quick, almost healthy dessert.

What you will need:
1 apple per person
Sugar
Lemon juice (fresh or bottled)
2-3 biscuits per person
Custard (whichever brand you fancy, either the cheapo type, or the freshly made)
Optional:
Toffee Sauce, Toffee and Fudge chopped into pieces, Whipped cream or Spray cream, chocolate powder or shavings.....and so on (you get the idea..WHATEVER)
To serve:
Individual dessert glasses or standard glass tumblers for individual portions or one big dish.


To make:
1. Begin by peeling and coring the apples. Put apples in a pan, and add for every apple 1 level tsp sugar and a squeeze of lemon juice (1 tsp fresh or 1/2 tsp bottled). Cook, stirring occasionally, on low heat apples for 5 minutes or so till tender. (Please make sure they aren't left to burn).
2. Prepare the biscuits, by putting them into a plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
3. Meanwhile, (& if your good at multi-tasking) prepare your custard according to the manufacturers instructions.
4. Allow the hot apples and custard to cool slightly before putting them into glass, as you don't want to crack the glasses.
5. Arrange the layers of apple, then biscuit and custard in individual glasses (small ones for little kids to enjoy), and top with freshly whipped cream, spray cream or some or ALL of the suggested toppings. Yum! Easy dessert with a hint of good health in there.
